It might not be perfect yet, but we can fix things!
It's likely possible to tweak various threshold distances based on country specifics, laws, user preferences, and further testing.
The car can track other cars now! I expect the trend to continue: with time it will accurately track bikers, cyclists, joggers, wild animals of all sizes, stationary obstacles, holes in road etc.
Joggers and cyclists might not be as affected as one might think. They sit higher than car drivers and avoid the beam so. On the other hand, high-powered LED bike lights, 2000 lumen and around, with no optics to form a beam, can easily blind a driver...
When I'm riding my bicycle at night on a street without streetlights (or with widely spaced streetlights), I can't see where I'm going if there's an oncoming vehicle. I just go straight and hope there's nothing in the way.
It gets even worse out in the country where I live. Driving in pitch darkness in a sports car that's low to the ground and having every other oncoming vehicle be a full-size pickup truck is a recipe for almost constant blindness because their headlights are exactly at my eye level. That's when you automatically look away to the side and hope a deer hasn't just jumped out behind that truck, into the road.
Same here! (I tend to use my left hand as a shade/blind.) I especially hate it when I have a migraine.
Once at a traffic light a semi-tractor trailer rig pulled in behind me. He actually turned his headlights off until we started moving again. Very unusual courtesy.
In my experience it's similar with a bike and a car: as the oncoming vehicle approaches, it actually helps light up the road from their end. But the exact moment it passes, well, for few moments there's no way to see anything.
